Bob, They are already doing this.
They had a box connected to each radio that would indicate to the
referee that you were running more than 100 watts. I would assume they
would just then ask the competitor to turn their power down if it
indicated over 100 watts. I believe they had a similar device in WRTC
2008 in Boston as well.

Bob, I put together my own list, but only looked at the top 10 finishers.
Among the top 10 finishers, there were 7 Yaesus, 6 Icoms, 4 Elecrafts,
and 3 Kenwoods.
Also, among the top 10 finishers, 6 of them used Wintest and 4 used
N1MM Logger+.
One of my elmers points out that doing well in this event has a lot
more to do with the skill of the operators than the tools they are
using. He also points out that slight differences in propagation and
the noise level at each site are also a factor.
This elmer goes on to say that in any ham population with a large
concentration of Europeans, you will find less interest in Elecraft
and N1MM Logger+.
Does a 200 watt radio running at 100 watts provide more "talk power"
on phone than a 100 watt radio? Boy, I don't know. If that's true,
then further defining the power limits may be something for the
organizers to look at.
